Just spent £267 on clothes and missed out £10 reward.

Why aren’t they activated automatically?

I applied to this specific job role ( at like 5am this being my 1000th application, not expecting a response) not knowing that I’d be supervising everybody else and assigning tasks to the assistants; I passed the assessment for this role and received an email requesting that I send my right to work the very next day. Just to clarify- I’ve never ever worked in retail.. I did a placement doing admin tasks and worked in a pharmacy. A small one though with 2 colleagues so it wasn’t too overwhelming and I was assigned tasks associated with the stock room and behind the scenes stuff. I’m wondering if this job is worth the suffering as it does provide good experience for my CV and fills in all the gaps but I don’t think I could handle the leadership aspect or holding others accountable. In fact I’d rather do the unfinished/ unsatisfactory tasks myself to avoid confrontation. But the pay is really good for someone of my age and experience and I would do with the extra cash as I’m looking to go to uni next year. They must be desperate because I never really specified my leadership skills and clearly stated that i was an ASSISTANT lol..

Hey guys, I had my interview last week and wanted to find out how quickly they were to get back to you. If they emailed, would they email early morning or late afternoon? I was told I’d hear back today but it’s almost the end of the day so I’m starting to assume I was unsuccessful.

I'm guessing it has dairy in some of it but is it in all of it? I couldn't find an ingredients list online. We'd be pre-ordering but all the non-gluten people also can't have dairy.

Got a £30 voucher for my birthday but when I went to the till I was told there's nothing on the card.

Have I been scammed?

Hi, I am interested in applying for a customer facing role at M&S Food Hall. I am conscious as to whether or not having a beard and piercings will limit my ability to get the job.

Are beards allowed? I haven't really paid attention to the facial hair of employees when shopping at M&S, but I will include this in my reccy of the store if I'm fortunate to get invited to interview. I will shave if I have to buy I won't like it 😅😅😭

I have tattoos on my arms which are easily covered by shirt sleeves, and I can remove my nose ring easily. However I have stretched ears which I fear may not look appropriate for M&S even if I leave them empty. I also have rings in my upper ear which I assume I would probably have to remove?

Thanks

All this before I even ask about people's advice for the application process or interview tips 😅

I’ve just gotten a job at marks and Spencer’s and they sent me a checklist to do which involved added my bank details and emergency contact. After I did it I didn’t receive any emails about what to do next so I’m kinda nervous and wondering if anyone knows if I should have got an email or if I should just wait. Also does anyone know when I should expect to get a date for my induction day?

Hi I applied for a job at M&S the other day and I have received an email saying they have requested for me to do a right check and I haven't even been invited for an interview yet is this what normally happens?

how do i go about asking to work during term
time? i received my results yesterday and i’m off to a university 5 hours away! Is the likelihood of them agreeing high? I’ve been a colleague for just under two years.
Thanks !

I have a team Manager interview coming up for Marks and Spencer Food Hall. Does anyone have any experience with either interviews of this kind or actually doing the job? I would be grateful for any information good or bad about working for them and about the role in general. For context I currently work as a DSM for Aldi. I am also looking for opportunities at Tesco and would be interested in peoples views about pros and cons of Tesco v M and S too. Thanks !

how did others find working in the cafe?

i’m not going in expecting it to be an easy job which is quiet, my interviewer was nice and honest with me but she never worked in the cafe.

I’m 16 years old and everytime I search for an inspo it just looks too professional.

Hey guys, I got an interview for the role above. Whats this job like? What are the hours like etc? i currently work as a KP in a busy restaurant which really physically demanding and taxing so how different is this compared to that? Is it more chill?

Thanks.
